SCIMITAR CELEBRATES PRIDE MONTH

June is Pride Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, promoting inclusivity, and raising awareness about the ongoing fight for equality.

At Scimitar, we are proud to support this vibrant community through our partnerships with clubs and events around the world that directly support and raise awareness for the community. To celebrate the month we’ve decided to take a closer look at one of these clubs in particular, Nottingham Frontrunners, a dynamic LGBTQ+ running club.

Nottingham Frontrunners is more than just a running club; it’s a community that provides a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to come together, stay active, and support each other. Through weekly runs, social events, and participation in various races, the club fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among its members. Their mission goes beyond fitness; it’s about creating a positive, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and accepted.

At Scimitar, we believe in the power of sport to bring people together and create lasting change. That’s why we’re grateful to partner with the group, providing them with custom sportswear that not only looks fantastic but accurately represents them and their brand. Our collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to representation, inclusivity, and community spirit.

The Nottingham Frontrunners have expressed their appreciation for this partnership, stating,

“Nottingham Frontrunners value our partnership with Scimitar and we are so proud wearing our vibrant kit and seeing a splash of colour everywhere we go running!

 Scimitar’s expertise ensures that our kit not only looks amazing but also comes in a range of inclusive sizes to celebrate every runner. Together, we’re making strides for representation and community spirit.”

The Impact of Representation in Sports

Visibility and representation matter, especially in sports, where LGBTQ+ athletes have historically faced significant challenges. By working with organizations like Nottingham Frontrunners, we aim to help break down barriers and promote a culture of acceptance and support.

Supporting Pride Month and Beyond

Pride Month is a time for celebration, reflection, and action. We are committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community not just during Pride Month, but throughout the year as we celebrate the progress made toward LGBTQ+ equality, we also recognise the work that still needs to be done. Our partnership with Nottingham Frontrunners and others is one of the many ways we strive to make a positive impact and champion inclusivity in sports.
